Alexandra Evans, a California native, is currently pursuing her B.S. in Journalism at Boston University. Writing has been one of her strong suits since she was young. Since her first article was published in September 2016, Alexandra discovered that her strong, outgoing, and sociable personality allowed her to conduct interviews with poise and high levels of enthusiasm and humor.

Alexandra commenced her journalism career by joining the staff of the Laney College student-run newspaper, The Laney Tower, in September 2016. Her first published article focused on a stem cell researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. Future coverage areas for the Tower included science lectures at Berkeley City College (where she took classes in addition to Laney) and local music shows. Alexandra then wanted to explore coverage areas outside of her academic environment.

Alexandra secured a one-year internship with San Francisco News in November 2016. In February 2017, she began writing for its Beverly Hills-based sister publication, Canyon News. After months of writing primarily about crimes and celebrity news, she decided to switch her focus to a topic she was far more passionate about: sports.

In June 2017, Alexandra attended her first professional sports event: an Oakland Athletics event honoring the late All-Star pitcher, Jim “Catfish” Hunter. There, she interviewed Hunter’s fellow 1972-1974 World Series champions Vida Blue, Joe Rudi, Bert Campaneris, John “Blue Moon” Odom, and Darold Knowles. She still considers this event a career highlight.

Through September 2017, she wrote feature stories, game recaps, and published player interviews for the San Jose Sharks. From October to December, she did so for the Sharks’ American Hockey League affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda.

Alexandra joined the San Francisco-based publication Sports Radio Service in November 2017. She continued to cover the Barracuda through December 2017 and for Stanford University Men’s Basketball through the 2017-2018 NCAA regular season. Her work at Stanford also included podcasts.

As of September 2018, Alexandra is a member of Boston University's sports talk station, WTBU Sports. She focuses on Men's and Women's Ice Hockey coverage.
